EPILOGUE

DANTE

It was foggy and I could hardly make sense of where I was.

I could not move too even as I struggled to but I could hear her.

Diana, I called out

She was talking about so many things and asking me to come back to her.

Where are you? I asked

I did not think she could hear me; I wanted her to hear me as so I struggled until I slipped into the blackness once more.

My eyes snapped open; it wasn’t dark or foggy and I was staring at some white ceiling.

Is this heaven, I thought and then smiled stupidly

There was no way I would be in heaven if I died and this did not look like the hell that the bible spoke of which would be filled with fire and brimstone and where sinners would cry and gnash their teeth until the end of time.

I was feeling quite comfortable even though I still could not move without pains shooting up my body and…

I moved my head to the side, settling on hair touching my arm.

Diana, I thought

There was no way Diana who would be in hell with me and it suddenly hi

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S FOREVER CONTRACT    AUTHOR'S NOTE

    FORMAL NOTE TO MY LOVELY READERS Being the daughter of an important person like Jason Rodrigues was no easy feat… at least that was what everyone thought whenever they looked at Camilla Rodrigues. They thought that she had it all and there was nothing in the world that would ever change that. Camilla on the other hand wanted something more than the title of her father. She loved him, never forget that but she also wanted something more for herself that did not involve his name and his title. She walks into a room and everyone whispers… they are nice to her because they all want something from her father and they think she is in the right place to put in a good word for them. She had no friends… who would want to be friends with the daughter of a billionaire with no strings attached? It just wasn’t possible. Camilla wanted more and that was what drove her into the hands of Nathan Clark, her father’s only competitor. Nathan was everything that her father disliked and even more so,

    CHAPTER ONECAMILLA“You did what?” My father snapped, rising to his feet.I remained seated but twirled my fingers; I knew he wasn’t going to be happy with what I had done but the contract had already been signed and there was nothing he could about it at the moment if he did not want the full brunt of the media upon our family.Nathan Clark was his sole competitor and I had just gone to strike a deal with the man to work for him in exchange for the knowledge I could offer about the business.“What are you talking about, Camilla?” My mother, Elizabeth asked.She too was present as I spoke to my father about what I had done.“I have decided to work for Mr Clark and he and I have come to an agreement. I am informing you both about this so you are in the know should in case the media gets a whiff of the news” I told them“You have got to be fucking kidding me, Camilla. You cannot do that; you know very well how much of a strong competitor, Clark is and you think this would benefit the f

    CHAPTER TWONATHAN It has been a full two days since Camilla Rodrigues stormed into my office and propositioned me with her eyes flashing her her smile unwavering and i found it disturbing that I was still thinking about her.She was daring and quite frankly stupid if you asked me.There was no way I would understand why she was doing what she was doing and even when she had mentioned she wanted something of her own…That was understandable if I could prove to myself that she knew exactly what she was talking about.To me, this was just some case of a rich, spoilt brat who is apparently bored with her life and seeking some sort of fun and entertainment.I am going to teach her what fun was and I was sure that she wouldn’t last a week in my company.I smiled at this, already envisioning the things I was going to do to the little Rodrigues. She had to know that there will be no daddy to cry to by the time I was done with her.It was in this state that my best friend, Christian met me.

    CHAPTER THREECAMILLA“My Dad phoned you? I am so sorry about that. I promise I will speak to him” I said for the second time, feeling unease and a slight hint of embarrassment.I had not expected my dad to take the idea of me working for his competitor lying low but calling the man?“Don’t worry, I already handled it. I am only phoning you to be sure Daddy has not succeeded in changing your mind”“My mind is not changed. I want to work for you” I counteredNathan paused for a second before he continued speaking.“Then you are to resume your duties tomorrow. Do not think I will go easy on you because you are some rich heiress and neither will my people… in fact, they are going to eat you up by the time you are introduced to them” He warnedWas he worried about me? I thought to myself and then shook my head to clear out such thoughts.He was just telling me what to expect nothing more.“I don’t expect anyone to go easy on me; I am going to prove myself” I reassured him.“That’s good to

    CHAPTER FOURNATHAN“I want everyone to meet Camilla Rodrigues; she will be working here as from today till I say otherwise.” I announced when I was sure I had had everyone gatheredThere was a round of murmurs which I had sure been expecting before they all began clapping to acknowledge what I had said.This was one of the reasons I had made her my personal assistant… to keep her away from the ravenous wolves in my company and to also keep her close to me.She was something of a study and she intrigued me]“Thank you very much, Mr Clark.” She preened, smiling from ear to ear. “I am going to be doing my best and I hope to work exceedingly well with each and every one of you” She announced.Another round of applause before I sent them all to their duties.“Camilla” I nodded at her“Mr Clark”“Nathan” I corrected her again.She blushed, hiding her face away“Nathan” She whispered.I stared at her for longer than necessary not admitting to myself that I was committing her face to memory.

I had not asked him if he liked his coffee black but I could tell he did.It did not take long for me to get the coffee up and I walked slowly back to his office, pausing at the door and taking another deep breath.I rapped once, waiting for his response.“Come on in” The deep rumble of his voice came through.I pushed the door open, pausing for a second when I saw that he had put on glasses.Nerd, I thought to myself, resisting the urge to stare.He was a sexy nerd with those glasses perched atop his nose and the sleeves of his shirt rolled up to reveal corded muscles.“I did not ask if you wanted your coffee black” I explained as he accepted the cup from my hand.Our fingers touched and I bit back a yelp.“I like it black

    SIXNATHANI was furious… I knew Ben had been a very wild card the moment I had decided to accept money from him for investments but to think he would dare.Of course, after all these years… I still had to prove myself to all of them.Rich snobs with nothing on their hands than money to spend and parties to attend. I still had to prove to them that I was worthy to walk toe to toe with them.It was upsetting enough after the untimely death of my wife and the reading of the will where she had given the company, there had been protests and investment pulled out because no one wanted to deal with a gold digger.They all though I had had something to do with her death and even her family contested the will in court but it would seem that my wife… bless her soul had made sure to make it loophole free. There was nothing they could do but accept the fact that I was going to be the new director and owner of the company.It had taken me years to get it off the ground and we were even now still

    SEVEN CAMILLA Benjamin Cooper had mentioned something about taking his deal and investment to Jason Rodrigues in a bit to falter Nathan. Of course he had not idea he had been yelling vulgar words to the child of the said man and I would be damned if I allowed my father accept or even work with such a person. I grabbed my phone and placed a call to his direct line which he picked up on the second ring. “What is the matter, angel? I am in a meeting right now with a client.” He murmured into the phone. “Is this client by any chance Benjamin Cooper?” I asked “Are you keeping tabs on me for your new boss, little dove?” I could hear the mirth and also the question in my father’s voice. He wanted an explanation as to how I knew about his meeting and if he could trust me now that I was working for his competitor. “He used to invest with Nat… Mr Clark. I don’t know if he mentioned it?” “He did and he says Clark walked him out rudely because of something minor?” “Dad” I yelled. “He is

    CAMILLAAfter the previous day encounter and the kiss… I wasn’t sure I wanted to be on the same team with Nathan.In all honesty, I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted.My lips still tingled from the memory of Nathan’s kiss, and yet, the feeling did NOT settle in the way I expected. It wasn’t the passionate rush of desire or the warmth of something more. No, it was an unsettled ache, a reminder that whatever this was between us was anything but simple.I stared at the ceiling, my mind spinning in a hundred different directions. My thoughts kept circling back to that kiss.Why had he gone and kissed me?The last thing I needed was to get caught up in Nathan’s mess, in whatever internal struggle he was going through. I could not afford to lose myself in him. Not again. He had kissed me, and now I had to decide whether to let it go or pull back before things went any further.I dragged myself out of bed, staring at the clock—7:00 AM. My meeting with Nathan was at 9:00, but I had a hundred t

    NATHANI was stalling.Her apartment had grown quiet except for the rhythmic ticking of a clock on the wall, but I stayed seated at her table, watching her stack dishes in the sink. My car was fixed. My excuse to linger here was gone. Yet I couldn’t bring myself to leave.She moved with a confidence that was uniquely Camilla. She wasn’t trying to impress anyone…least of all me…but damn, she did. I traced the curve of her spine with my eyes as she walked back into the living room, her bare feet soft against the floorboards.I should have been thinking about Eleanor. About Trish. About Alicent. About the cold-blooded satisfaction I would feel when the truth about Eleanor’s death finally saw the light of day. But all I could think about was how Camilla and how I should be apologizing to her.“You’re awfully quiet,” she said, sitting across from me, tilting her head to study me.“I have been accused of worse.”She rolled her eyes. “You are always like this. Mysterious and brooding. You wou

    CAMILLA “Good morning.” I started at him, unsure of exactly what I was looking at. Then it hit me: the smell. Warm and savory, the scent of something cooking drifted through the air…eggs, maybe toast. It was so out of place… he was out of place here. I moved, the motion sending a fresh wave of pain through my skull and a queasiness to my stomach. I groaned again, slower this time, trying to steady myself. “Morning,” I mumbled hoarsely, my voice barely more than a croak. He was standing by the stove, his back to me, a pan in one hand and a spatula in the other. His shirt was untucked, the fabric clinging to his broad shoulders in a way that made him seem even larger than usual. In my tiny kitchen, he looked impossibly big, like he didn’t belong there, yet somehow…he fit. “What are you doing?” I asked, my voice weak but laced with confusion. Nathan glanced over his shoulder, his profile catching the morning light. His hair was a little messy, like he hadn’t bothered t

    CAMILLAIt was useless feeling sorry for myself, I thought.The lighting in the club was low as I stepped in with my friend, Bella.“Not bad” I murmured.“Told you” She responded triumphantly. “This is what you need to get over him. Nathan Clark is an asshole and should dump him in the dust where he belongs”I wanted to correct her that he wasn’t an asshole, he was merely disturbed but I did not.I was not here to sympathize with him or even think about him. I was here to have fun and that is what I am going to do.I was putting on a red dress and it complimented my eyes way more than I thought it would.“Come on, we should get a drink” Bella pulled me to the bar.The bartender winked at both of us and then asked what we would likeIt was at the tip of my tongue to say nothing but I was at a club, wasn’t I?“Sex on the beach” I announced.Bella turned to me, surprise in her eyes. I was pretty sure she thought she would have to force me to drink.“I would have the same” She told the ma

    NATHANThere was nothing to say as I dropped Camilla off at her home.I waited until I was sure she had gotten in before I headed in the direction of my mother in law’s house.I pushed in Christian’s number, my teeth gritting as it rang.I was furious.I did not want to admit I was more furious at myself than anything.“How did your date go?” Christian’s asked as soon as the phone line clicked.“Send me the name of the witness” I grunted.“What is wrong?”“Send the name, dammit”“You need to calm down, Nathan. Where are you going?”“To settle this once and for all” I told him. “Now send the damned number to me”I hung up before he had the chance to say anything or convince me to back away because I would not.I drove way above the speed limit, stopping only when I had gotten to the mansion’s gate.It brought back memories of family dinners where I had to defend Eleanor over and over again. Where snide remarks about the reason I was with her reached my ears and she said nothing about

    CAMILLA“I did not think I was ever going to see you again, Camilla” Sarah smiled as soon as I entered the restaurant.She wagged a finger in Nathan’s direction, shaking her head at him.“With the kind of food you sell? I will be coming in here for a very long time” I smiled back.Nathan and I took our seats and waited.She had a queue as usual and I could not help the smile as I glanced around.“You would have watched your father kill me” Nathan commented.“I admit that would have made me feel better for a bit” I told him.He appeared shocked but I could tell from the way his eyes twinkled with delight that he thought it hilarious.I had not expected he would go over to my parent’s house especially seeing as I wasn’t there in the first place.My father however had called me when he arrived with a gun to his head and asked if I wanted to see him. I had hesitated just for the fun of it“I deserved that”“Yes you did” I agreed.“Thank you for coming here with me”I nodded once.Sarah dr

    NATHANI was pacing like a fucking clown.I was expecting Camilla at the office today to discuss the project that we were involved in together and I could not help the restlessness coursing through my body.I wasn’t one to be this nervous about anything.“Deep breaths” I told myself, trying to go along with my instructions but to no avail.So much so that when my receptionist announced her presence, I had worked myself into a frenzy.My breath caught in my throat as she walked in, her eyes taking the room before settling on me with stark clarity.What had I been thinking? I thought.Starved of attention?Who was the blithering idiot now?“You look well” She commented, taking the seat in front of me.“You look beautiful” I murmured.She paused, her eyes meeting mine.Sparks flew, that was for sure.“How do you feel?” She asked instead.“Much better. Thank you for attending to me yesterday. For even accepting the phone call from me”“Of course, I am not a demon even though I do hate you

You sound distressed”He chuckled and then I heard him cough in the background“You are not concerned about me now, are you?”“This is not a joke, what is wrong with you?” I asked again, feeling panicky.He

I did not want to think of anything, I did not want to begin to analyze the anger in my heart directed at one person in particular.When I finally opened my eyes, it was noon.I made my way downstairs and was met with the searching eyes of both my parents.“Are you okay, baby?” My mother asked.I took a seat beside them.“I am not some fragile child you have to be worried about always, mother” I said.“You are my child and I have every reason to be worried about you” she countered.“I am going to be fine” I told her.My father said nothing but I turned to him anyways.“I have d
